Leading housebuilder Redrow has developed and launched its innovative new mobile app, helping homeowners find their dream new home in just a few taps. Building on its reputation for digital innovation and customer experience, the app is the first and only one of its type on iOS and Android.
Built to support market demand and customer needs, the latest research from Redrow shows that almost 40% of prospective homebuyers will use a property app to search for their new home. Redrow’s new app caters to homebuyers’ behaviour while offering the quickest and easiest way to find their new home.
The research shows the top five ‘must have’ home features when searching online, which includes: having a garden (52%), a high energy efficiency rating (34%), natural light (32%), off road parking (31%), and space to work from home (26%)*. The Redrow app builds on this with customers able to create personalised searches of their own ‘must have’ features, offering a quick and convenient way to find a home that suits their needs and preferences.
Key benefits and features include:
- Instant notifications when new homes become available
- Personalised search to find the home that’s right for you
- Integrated with Apple and Google maps, eradicating the historical challenge of finding new developments
- The ability to book and add appointments directly to preferred calendar apps
- Enhanced virtual show home tours
- Works in conjunction with your existing My Redrow account and keeps track of your favourite homes, house types and developments all in one place
- A wealth of guides and tips on topics such as Stamp Duty, EPC ratings and checklists for moving
Matt Grayson, Group Customer & Marketing Director at Redrow, said:
“We are excited to launch our first-ever app, thanks to the dedicated hard work and expertise of our in-house IT & digital marketing teams, to help homebuyers looking for a beautiful new energy-efficient Redrow home.
